Hi all
Just got some fabbo Peregrine HP-48 wheels. Quality is: very nice rider.. But, I want to make them a bit nicer :) So,
1) one of the Suzue hub (5B stamped) is a little course running. I think it is sealed. How can I improve this? Im used to stripping down Skyway hubs. At the weekend ill see how far I can strip it..
2) the rims say "use HP-40 tires only". I presume this is bollox? I have some HP40 tires but not sure if I will be riding them as they are currently un-used.
3) the rear rim is a little scratched. Being aluminium, can i polish these out? Im building a workshop and intend to get a bench grinder so, in a month or so, I will have access to a polishing machine.. Pictures of the straches here:

They say they are sealed hubs but they are only semi-sealed. The front looks normal to me and the back has the plastic seal. They can be stripped and greased like loose ball hubs :daumenhoch:
They say only use HP tyres as they wanted you to buy their tyres back in the day :LolLolLolLol: Any tyre will do depending what you will be doing on the bike :coolsmiley:
My speedlines had scratches too but I buffed the worst out quite easily :daumenhoch: :coolsmiley:
